Unicode is a code in which every letter of every alphabet in the world corresponds to a number. This numeric code is used to write text inside computers, because only can be written numbers inside computers. When the computer shows on the screen the text which it has inside, it draws the letters corresponding to the Unicode numbers which it has inside. My 4 years listened to this explanation and said everything was clear. The only problem is that he now wants to disassemble my computer to see the numbers it has inside. He thinks that the numbers are stored in the form of talking ladybugs which would say out the number when you tip on them (he gained this idea from one of his favorite books: "Learn the Numbers with the Talking Ladybugs"). _ Marco
